Interesting to read about this. I recently discovered a great podcast about horror films - though i just dip into the genre - so this was a fun addition.

Really like this reflection as I think about “the city” concept in a lot of my work --

“It does support the idea that the city is an uncaring environment, and there is the ever-present fact that this is a Scream movie suggesting that many of the flaws may be included on purpose to an extent, but there is little room for manoeuvre.”

Thank you so much for reading, Kathleen. I appreciate works of art that focus on environments like cities that bring so much life to stories as a whole. I am sorry to bring up games again, but I am always astounded by Yakuza games (or Like a Dragon is the original title). A lot goes in the backgrounds and you just cannot help but linger and experience. I also love horror, which has been a great conduit to explore hard themes.

Thank you. I personally enjoyed the darker tone of the film, the setting, etc.

Definitely had some anxiety inducing moments but the ending? Just too unrealistic for me.

Could not suspend my belief high or long enough for it. Don't want to post a spoiler, but, whew, nope!
